Around 20 volunteers planted trees in the Highland Hills neighborhood with the non-profit Groundwork Dallas.
About 50 trees were planted in Dallas Highland Hills neighborhood over the weekend to help balance development that s thinned out greenspace.
The tree planting event started with a demonstration. Up to 20 volunteers gathered in a circle around Alex Marquard with the non-profit Groundwork Dallas.
“So the first thing you need to do is dig a hole and lay the tree down. You can kick it or take the shovel,” said Marquard as he thumps the tree on the floor.
He’s teaching the volunteers the key to successfully planting a tree. He hands out shovels, gloves and rakes.
